Recent community discussions around proposed upgrades to Zcash — aimed at enhancing privacy features and transaction efficiency — have sparked renewed buying interest, fueling ZEC’s upward trajectory.

Over the past seven days, ZEC has gained more than 30%, significantly outperforming Bitcoin (BTC), and drawing attention back to the privacy coin narrative. Today, DASH followed with a 3% gain, while Monero (XMR) posted modest gains as well.
